Miami Celebrity Hair Stylist Charged with Child Luring, Drug Offenses

Ryan Thomas Pearl, a 37-year-old Miami celebrity hair stylist known for working with high-profile clients such as Hailey Bieber and Halsey, has been arrested on multiple charges including attempting to lure a 15-year-old client for sexual conduct. The allegations surfaced after the girl's mother reported suspicious Apple Pay transactions and inappropriate social media messages, prompting police to take over the teen's phone communications. Undercover officers posing as the minor engaged in explicit conversations with Pearl, who sent nude photos and planned a meeting for sexual activity. When Pearl arrived at the prearranged location, police found suspected pink cocaine, condoms, and vape pens in his vehicle. Pearl faces additional charges including electronic transmission harmful to minors, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and cocaine possession, with court dates pending amid ongoing investigations. Despite his recent arrest, Pearl's career had been notable for collaborations with major celebrities and work between Miami and New York City.
